bjstone Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Hi all, I've searched the forum and cant find an answer. I see that yamaha sells chrome hole insert plugs for this backing plate. However, I cannot find the backing plate itself in chrome. I assume that since yamaha makes the chrome plugs for it that they would sell the backing plate too, but I can't find it. I've checked the starmotorcycles and all they sell is the plugs. can anyone help?
Little Bob Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 They have not made them for yrs. Look on e bay or pinwheel. Or you can go to your local dealer and have look in there computer for anyone that may have a set. FOUND MY IN A LITTLE SHOP IN GEORIGA.
Hucklecatt Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 I assume you mean part number STR-4NK27-03-01 (ball milled or smooth). These parts are still out there in their original packaging, trust me! The parts are only awaiting internet listing or purchase directly off the Sale table at your local Yamaha. I scored a new set of rear saddle bag guards as seen on the Tour Classics in original packaging for my '96. So... Set a search in eBay on keywords such as the number above, Yamaha Rear Passenger Backing Plate, and similar. This is an eBay tool that any member can use to be alerted via email when something gets listed that matches the description. Use these keywords also performing searches not only on one browser type - choose another as well. Drill into the returned pages, meaning open page 10 first and move upwards - there is a lot of cr@p that fills the first few pages more often than not. It took me ~2months on those rear bag guards I think but they came new in original packaging and the price was great - an overstock or dismantler outfit will usually list these parts so they are just running stock out the door.
XV1100SE Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Slowrollwv is making these plates for the 2nd Gen. I just got a set from him. They are the smooth ones, not ball milled in stainless steel. He also has brackets to mount air horns on either side below and behind the passenger floor boards.
SundayRider Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I just got a set from Slowrollwv my self. He does very nice work, they look great. Also a set of twinky covers. Perfect.
bjstone Posted October 13, 2013 Author Posted October 13, 2013 great, how do I reach him? I dont see him on here.
